H. B' Bept 18 88 tf ti Speech of Mr. J. W. Carlisle. The following is the speech of Mr. Carisle, ol Spartanburg, in the House of Repescntatives, ou the Bill to postpone the cssion of the Fall Courts: Mr. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, said : I uc ept the issue presented by the gallant nember from Edgefield. I agree that his is a question of policy, and that this tody has nothing to do with the constitu lonal question which may be involved. If t is expedient, politic, wise, let the Legislature pass the measure and the ,'ourt of Errors will take charge of its lonstitutionality. Our aim should be o secure the greatest good to the greatest lumber, not merely temporarily, not for he hour, the day or the year, but the per nanent lasting good of the people. And or one, without impugning the motives d this body, I urn not prepared to co ope ate with that policy which obstructs the ?rdinary collection of debts. The history if the last Stay Law, the history of all stay Laws show that they act ns a prevenutivc to the debtor in the settlement of daims. The people have been convinced in this point, and it the matter is left to hem they will ngulate the matter them elves in a spirit ol compromise, forbeurince and generosity. In my opinion, ircdilors are satisfied that it will be a runous policy to enforce a collection of debts it this time, and that, sir, is a strong ar ;muent against the legislative interference vith the remedies of law. Again, Mr. Speaker, 1 do not think that this measure vill satisfy the people, and the very next .legislature will witness a clamor in this tall demanding that if this bill is adopted mother shall follow upon his heeis. 1 say, hereiore, that I would rather vote for traight forward repudiation than for anything that obstructs the process of law. jet the question be fairly met. It is re mdiation or no repudiation. Wo cannot irevent it. A great deal has been said ihout the ciamor of different districts, hut . have the pleasure of saying that in my ?wn, we have passed no resolutions, and ippointed no committee to wait upon his Excellency the Governor. VVe have been pared the infliction, and if the s,iri? elo|uence had been used in allaying the pas ions of the people and advising them to tome together as brethren who have sufcred in a common cause, the whole matter rould have been settled without leg slaive interference. 1 deny the right of any Legislature on his enrth to interfere with my private loiitract. It is a departure from the rce>rd, and it is better by far that our State hnuld he insolvent and bankrupt than that ve should undertake to disturb the sacr.dicss of private contracts. It is to he burne u iuind that these debtors arid creditors ire our own people; that they have suffer d, fought and bled together, and it is m t o be expected that they will prove so ra i jacious as to sell out the lust dollar ol I r.?*f .? r\f .... I..- .1 I ?J Ul fill IIUIIL'^t UL'Wil'l IUI (III." |>UI ; ?ose of satisfying their immediate demand. Mr. Speaker, I apologize for trespassing ipoti the House, but I intend to record my mte against all legislation on this suhject. ! shall go home to Spartanburg District, ind tell the people thut they must not rely ipou the Legislature to help them. They oust work out their own salvation, and il hey are let alone by Federal and State egislation, I tell you sir, that a people who :ould hold Fort Sumter in ruins, who lave girded old Virginia with breastworks nd who charged at Gettysburg, will solve his problem much better than it can he lone by any interference of this General Vsscuibly. The following xtract from "Townscnd's encyclopedia of the Great Rebellion" hows that Massachusetts in times past, as iow, favored the policy of obstruction when t was desired to add a Slate to the Union: In January, lMl.the author of this cuiioisccnco was at Washington. The |ue.?tion of admission of Louisianu, then a ! erritory, info the Union as a Slate, was ' mder consideration. Mr. Roydras was the delegate to ("on- ' ;rcss. lie was a Frenchman, and could ; lot address the House in English. Mr 'oindextcr, the delegate Irom Mississippi, ras assigned the duty oi presenting and vi eating the admission of Louisiana into ho Union as a State. Josiuh Quiney, member from Hcston, pposed the admission with great veheiicncc. He denounced the purchase of!

We are on the verg of another war, i which threatens to enga! ahela, published a notice of a raoe, >ne mile beats, on a particular day, for a jurse of 3100. " Free for anything with our legs and hair on." A man in the icighborbood named Hayes, had a bull hat he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bog of corn, and he waa determined to enter him for the raoe. lie said nothing about it to any one, but ti? rode him round the track a number of imes on several moonlight nights, until he bull had the hane of the ground prety well, and would keep the right coarse. Lie rode with spars, which the ball eon* lidered disagreeable; so much so that he ilways bellowed when they were applied o bis flanks. On the .morning of the race Hayes eame lpon the ground on horseback?-on his bull. Instead of a saddle he had a dried ox hide ?the head part of which, with the horns itill on, he had placed on the ball's rump, lie had a short tin horn in his hand. He -ode to the judge's stand, and offered to :nter his bull for the raco; but the owners >f the horses that were entered objected. Hayes appealed to the terms of the notice, insisting that bis bull had " four legs md hair on," and that be had a right to inter him After a good deal of swearing, ? the judges declared themselves compelled to decide that the bnll had the right to - un, and was entered accordingly.

They deducted from some Northern products, but they took care to iransler that deduction and $12,000,000 in addition to the backs ot tho already irapoverished people of the South. The adlitional tax of one per cent, per pound on :otton, will produce a revenue larger than ill their deductions.
